  abstract =     "In the fall of 1994, we reorganized the content of our
                 three-course computer science introductory sequence in
                 order to introduce software engineering concepts early
                 and provide a consistent software engineering focus
                 from one course to the next. We also established
                 documentation and design standards that would serve as
                 a framework for teaching the software engineering
                 principles and techniques that we considered
                 appropriate and essential to novice software
                 developers. In an attempt to assess the impact of this
                 new teaching process, we compared the performances in
                 upper-level project-oriented courses of students who
                 had been exposed to the new introductory sequence to
                 those of students who had not. This paper describes the
                 documentation and design standards established in 1994,
                 their evolution over the past four years, and how these
                 standards can be used as a framework for teaching
                 software engineering concepts early in the curriculum.
                 It also reports on what we have learned through
                 tracking our students. We found that, in three
                 upper-level courses, project grades for students
                 exposed to software engineering concepts early averaged
                 as much as half a letter grade higher than those of
                 other students.",
